Fair Court Hearing Appeal for Mohamed Kohail Execution Sentencing

To:  Canadian Government

On March 3rd 2008 at 1pm local time in Saudi Arabia, the court sentenced Mr. Mohamad Kohail and his friend Mr. Muhanna Masoud to be executed by beheading. This sentence was due to their link in Mr. Munzer Hiraki's death that took place January 2007, after having engaged in a school yard fight. Hiraki’s death was an accident due to his heart conditions, and not intentionally done.

The death penalty by beheading in Saudi Arabia is executed in public after Friday noon prayer by chopping off his head using a sword.

The defendants did not have the right to have a legal representation in most of the trial sessions. It was mentioned in the news of family members concern about serious flaw in the legal procedure.

During the hearing on March 3rd, the Kohail defense had brought two witnesses but the court did not take them into consideration. In fact, during the whole trial time none of the witnesses that were presented by the Kohail defense were considered. Out of three judges only two were present, and yet it was the clerk who announced the verdict and not the judges.

In the end, we ask for the Canadian public to reach out and convince the Canadian government to interfere for a fair and just trial.

Kohail being a Canadian citizen should have the right to have the Canadian government by his side and make sure that this beheading of his innocence does not take place.

We, as citizens of a free country, respectfully ask the government to take action in such a critical situation. Let us stand together when one of our homeland's sons needs us the most.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
